If you live in NY and don't like the laws on homemade gas bikes in NY, why not just register your bike in an other state like NJ, PA, or CT, if you can.
Can you register your bike in another state? If so, I would say its better to register your bike in the state of your choice rather than worrying about riding your UNREGISTER gas bike in NY (if you have a registration, you're free to ride it in NY according to their DMV)
I'm planning to convert my mountain bike into a gas bike with a 4-stroke 49cc 2.10-2.23 hp engine from daemonbikes (
www.deamonbikes.com if you want to check it out) in the summer (if I get a summer or part-time job) and I was wondering if that engine is legal in the states that I mentioned, including NY? I live in the city and I want a faster commute around town without worrying about the cops pulling me over, ticketing me, taking my bike away, or even arresting me. Please help me out guys!!!!!
Why not hold some sort of protest about NY's harsh laws about these bikes. I mean why did NY make electric bikes legal and not gas bikes? Technically, there are both considered motor-assisted bicycles. All motor-assisted bicycles are illegal in NYS. Why not just legalize all motor-assisted bicycles and not just have electric-assisted bicycles legalized and gas-assisted bicycles not legalized? Thats one big loophole you guys should remember and complain about. Why NY? Why NY is the only state in this country with the strictest laws you can ever imagine? This is why I plan to move to NJ in the future. At least they have a little more freedom, like lower sales tax and no tax on gas, unlike NY. This is why I mentioned these other states, thinking that they have at least a little more freedom. With these laws still in effect, NY SUCKS, HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!
